A report, of which we c ;Aid not trace the source, was this tnorning cir. c %Aimed that they had returned to Itochefort; but railer thulk, a; we stated before, that they wilt , make a psl - 1 for the West h Letter, 'hew ever, fr?ta Cork, dated tire 234 instant, states, thet five Sail of the Line were t that morning of that Pat, and that the /I.dtniral had sent out a ,i r kte to see what they mere. It is pt piOle that this may have been. the Rochefort Squadron, be. gamic soon afier they sailed the wind came round to the Westward, aria therefore they could not shape\ a dire& westerly course ; and when they were seen by the Phochix, the Squadron only consisted of five Sail of the Line, the tvo-gurt Ship, hawing sepa rated from it. We Cannot relit the subject without adverting to the unfounded' charges :Which have been preferred against the Board of Admiralty. h appears that . the triometit it was known that the Enentyhad escaped, two . Squadrons, each equal to that which left Roche fort, sailed in pursuit of them, and, one of those was Sir RICIIAILD STIIACHAN'S, Which it was positively asserted in the Opposition Papers could not follow . the Enemy for want. of provisions. Tkt assertion is now known to be unfounded, and e arc now told that it •is " a matter of very little importance whether hi. Squadron was sufficiently vi4ualled or not." The absurdity of such a state ment requires no cortUnnt. They first accuse the Admiralty of not taking care to have Sir R. STR4CHA'N'S Squadron viaualled, mil when they , findthat it was amply supplied, they th e n, w ith ou t hesitation, declare tivat it was of littleltuportauce - whether it wad vietwilled,or not, Government have received advices from Botany Bay, dated the 18th of March, which state, that a plot to overturn the Government had been discover ed to have been entered into by Dwyau, BYRNE, and others, who had been transported from Ireland for . political 'offences. , One of the instructions given by them to the. slaves or servants who were con cerned in the c•nepiracy was, that each, upon the breaking out of the insurrection, should murder his master. The chief subjea of disctlssloti in both Houses of Parliament last night, was the Motion for a Vote of Thanks to . the Army and 'Navy employed in the Ex . epedition to Denmark.
